Chapter 168: Departure for Southern Xinjiang

When the summons order was issued, Yixin had long since disappeared, Ruoyun sent someone to take the roster, and when she was in good spirits, she flipped through it carefully, and she didn't find a person named "Yixin" from beginning to end, and the aunt in charge of Xia Nuanju's affairs was named Xinhua, who died as early as the year Rong Jinhuan ascended the throne, and if she was alive, she was also forty or fifty years old, and it was definitely not the "aunt" she saw.

Almost being pushed into the lake, not being favored, Xu Meiren's death, and that palm and neat skill, all seem to be connected and make people shudder.

The two maidservants, Scarlet Flower and Qiuyue, didn't know anything, and cried and said that they didn't know that this person was not a real aunt.

Ruoyun was confused and confused, this Yixin had been dormant in the palace for a long time but had only done something small or small, what her intention was really difficult to guess, but she appeared in the rebellion of the alternation of the throne, and at this moment she slapped her without a trace.

She rested for another two days before she could barely get out of bed and sit for a while. Rong Jinhuan was worried about the poison in the end, and he banned all the palace ladies and sisters, saying that he was thoroughly investigating the people who were in trouble in the palace, but fortunately, he did not embarrass Lin Duyan, who had been to the cold palace that day. It's just that this time, wanting to see Concubine De and Mo Zhaoyi ask about the past in the palace has come to naught.

I heard that Hu Shu'er has been crazy since the early morning that day, and now she is sleeping all day long relying on the medicine of the imperial doctor. The emperor is either the Golden Palace or the Warm Pavilion every day, and the rest of the time he stays in the Qianyuan Palace, sleeping in another bedroom late at night, except for a few words of hurried care for her, he does not see anyone, let alone to care about the life and death of other people in the palace.

Not only that, the palace people who took care of her in Qianyuan Palace changed a batch every day, and they were not repeated every time, and the decoction was also changed every day with Huai Xuanmo's adjustment recipe.

She craned her neck in thought. began to worry, if she returned to the capital alive, she might still be trapped in the palace, even if she was a virtuous concubine, she couldn't stop people from stumbling and wearing small shoes again and again. If she didn't go back, she would have brushed Rong Jinhuan's kindness, but what did the emperor's heart mean, she only felt that the catkins were in her eyes, chaotic and fluttering.

She has no clue about the current chaos in the palace, the past is gradually blurred with her escape from death, and the future is illusory, her body is gradually recovering, and she is thinking about it in a daze, and there are palace people who come to wait with a change of clothes and decoction. said that King Huai asked her to move.

She looked at the battle of the comers, and knew that it was King Huai who urged her to set off, so she didn't dare to slack off, and quickly changed the clothes of the ordinary lady. I drank the decoction again and got on the sedan chair.

If Yun has the emperor's order to open the way this time, it will be easy to get out of the palace.

When the sedan chair arrived at the canal connecting to the canal outside the palace, I saw that the surrounding area was cleared, and the water surface was shining under the sun. The guards all lined up along the river. Huai Xuanmo had been waiting for a long time in the plain black clothes she usually wore, and was looking at the direction she came from with flat and empty eyes.

Behind him was a light and delicate clipper, the hull was slightly long and carved with the pattern of a leaping fish, the bottom was slightly thicker and seemed to have a mechanism embedded, with more than a dozen guards on it, plus more than 20 sailors and helmsmen, all dressed in black cloth shirts, and the spacious cabins were divided into several large ones, all covered by bamboo curtains or cloth curtains, and subdivided into small rooms. More than enough to accommodate everyone.

Ruoyun was supported by the palace people, and after only walking a few dozen steps, she was already panting and sweating like rain. But Huai Xuanmo was indifferent and didn't say a greeting, and it wasn't until she walked up to her that she turned around and pointed out the boat to her and led her up.

Most of the palace ladies and eunuchs remained on the shore in fear, and only a few went with her.

Ruoyun looked back at the direction of the palace, and secretly sighed that she was free because she was dying, and when she heard that Rong Jinhuan was troubled by the urgent news from Hongzhou today and couldn't get out, she couldn't help but feel that if she said goodbye now, she would be afraid that it would be another situation.

"Missed the hour, did you go to southern Xinjiang by yourself?" Huai Xuanmo dropped this painless sentence, and had already walked to the side of the boat, raised his hand and handed her a porcelain bottle, and instructed, "One a day, a total of twelve, and if you don't find Xia Zhuyue before eating, you will prepare a thin coffin for yourself." ”

The palace people didn't dare to come out when they heard King Huai's poisonous tongue, Ruoyun didn't think so, went up slowly and happily took it, and took a small token he handed over again, and then got into the cabin and sat down in the Chase compartment with tables and chairs.

Huai Xuanmo saw that the entourage was all properly settled, so he returned to the shore and ordered the boat to start.

She was very nervous when she sat on this kind of boat for the first time, and she did not dare to move in the cabin, but the boat was flat and stable, and she sat for a long time without seeing any major movement, and when the wind passed through the hall and the boat was moving at full speed, she ordered someone to roll up the bamboo curtain, and found that she had left the capital and entered the canal.

The more the end of summer is more and more sultry, there are ice basins and curtains everywhere in the warm pavilion, the gold thread of Rong Jinhuan's crepe ink-colored robe is shining in the sunlight cast by the bamboo curtain, he flipped through the pile of documents in front of him, his fingertips kept knocking on the table, his phoenix eyes were cold, his eyebrows were cloudy, and he said without raising his head: "Qingping Sect has waited for so many years, and I haven't let go of such a great opportunity." ”

Master Gu raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat, stared at the pages in his hand that kept turning, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Wuyang's crime has been made public, except for the believers who inherited the mantle of sacrifice, the opposition of the people is getting louder and louder, and several altars set up in various places during the time of the first emperor have also been destroyed one after another, and I think it is a long-standing grievance. It's just that it's easier for the Qingping Sect to hide among the people. ”

Rong Jinhuan's brows furrowed, his sharp eyes stared at Master Gu's old face with sweat, and he smiled coldly: "The Qingping Sect has developed from the people in recent years, and its banner is 'Qingping Ascension to Immortals', which has somewhat borrowed the shadow of the priest's lineage, so that the head and tail are hidden, and there are fewer believers, and it is more convenient for me to deal with it." ”

"What does the emperor mean?" Master Gu didn't dare to answer, and listened to him respectfully.

"Since the Qingping Sect is good at mixing with the people, then I will issue a decree on this, all those who hide cultists will be punished, those who conceal and fail to report will be punished with rods, and if they can confess, those who are arrested by the officers and soldiers of the line index, and those who are to be found to be true will be rewarded, and the states will be investigated under martial law, and there shall be no mistakes." After Rong Jinhuan finished speaking, he snorted coldly, "If the officials fill their pockets because of this, and use this name to bully the people and kill them, the three clans will sit together." ”

"When will the emperor issue the edict?" Master Gu was in a dilemma, hesitating and not daring to obey the order.

"How?" Rong Jinhuan simply stood up and paced back and forth.

"Even if Lord Hu is closed, when Lord Luo is sick and retires a lot, I am afraid that there will be few supervisors." Lord Gu said honestly, he probed the emperor's yin and sunny from the afterglow, thinking that Cheng Qingsu would not return to the emperor after finishing his work, and he would not ask if he was the emperor, and there were too few ministers who could take charge of things in the court at the moment.

Rong Jinhuan glanced at him, and said with displeasure on his face: "Since most of the officials in the DPRK and China have been replaced, they should also behave in a good way. Luo Qing said that he has been sick for a long time, so you can send someone to inquire. Hu Bowen has been corrupt and perverted the law for many years, and now that the general trend is gone, it doesn't matter if he doesn't move. ”

"Yes. I just don't know ......" Lord Gu understood that there were only two monarchs and ministers at the moment, and the emperor could comment like this, so he dared to ask, "I don't know when the emperor will be established?" ”

When Rong Jinhuan heard this, Fang Cai's displeasure turned into thin anger, and he slammed his fist on the table and said: "My matter, it's not my turn to break my mouth for a group of courtiers." ”

Seeing that he immediately knew that it was the common remarks of the courtiers, Lord Gu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and since he had started his head, he simply knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, now that King Yuan Rong has betrayed the capital, and Hu Jieyu's child has not been saved, you should establish a queen as soon as possible, fill the harem, and establish a prince as soon as possible." ”

Without waiting for Rong Jinhuan to get angry, someone outside hurriedly came, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Start the emperor, the valley of the Gu poison trial has been cleared, and the nested mechanism of the Star Picking Pavilion is real, and the officers and soldiers sent to it cannot be forcibly demolished, and they have all returned." As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

Rong Jinhuan raised his hand to receive the letter, except for the cursory reading of the fire paint on it, he saw a place before he was happy, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he asked loudly: "Who submitted this letter?!" ”

The believer was puzzled and puzzled: "Back to the emperor, it's Lord Xia." As he spoke, he looked at the handwriting on the letter in his hand and nodded more and more affirmatively.

"But what this letter refers to is that Xia Zhuyue was in the village adjacent to the Star Picking Pavilion, and King Cheng went to the valley with him!" After Rong Jinhuan finished speaking, he felt bad when he saw the believer's confused expression, and said loudly, "You go down!" Changde! Chuan Yu Lin Wei quickly stopped Concubine Xian's clipper! ”

Changde hurriedly came, and his embarrassed facial features were distorted: "Ouch, the emperor, the fast boat has been driving for almost half a day, and now it is smooth sailing and has arrived in Fengzhou, Your Majesty, what are you ......?"

"Give me chase!" Rong Jinhuan couldn't help but order, stared at the door with straight eyes, and said almost angrily, "If there are variables in her going to southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid that she won't return to Beijing!" ”

"Your Majesty...... If you recover it now, then what kind of Gu is incomprehensible, Niangniang wants to ...... It's to ......" Changde reminded him hesitantly.

Lord Gu suddenly understood, it seemed that the rumors in the palace were true that day, so he took the opportunity to add: "Your Majesty, you secretly sent Concubine Niangniang out of Beijing for treatment, if you chase it back with great fanfare, I am afraid that if people do not chase her, it will lead to the death of Niangniang." ”

Rong Jinhuan was stunned for a moment, and then slapped it on the case fiercely, causing a few strands of broken hair to scatter, and said unwillingly: "I am only one step away, how can I give it up!" ”

Seeing that he was relieved, Master Gu hurriedly exchanged glances with Chang De, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang is the emperor's favorite, and she also stole the sky and prevented King Rong from seizing the throne, I believe that in time she will also be the emperor's help." It's just that if she is a man, she can be an official in the same dynasty and assist the emperor, but she is a woman, and the emperor is seriously ill and dropped out of the court for her, and the courtiers talk about it saying that the demon concubine is coming to the world and bringing disaster to the country and the people. ”

"Presumptuous! Who dares to talk nonsense?! Rong Jinhuan was angry, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his stomach and reprimanded loudly.

Seeing that Chang De quietly retreated, Lord Gu knelt down and said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, you have been guilty of all your faces, and you can't complain about the courtiers' suspicions. The minister saw that the virtuous concubine was not powerless, and she was not willing to stay in the palace, and no matter how she felt, even if the emperor hugged the beautiful woman, could she be allowed to take the throne? ”

Rong Jinhuan was shocked when he heard this, and he involuntarily took a step back, and only after a long time did he sneer: "In the end, you still persuade me to stand up." ”
